Australia has a strong track record of attracting investment.
The Investor Front Door helps make Australia more attractive to investors and project proponents by making it simpler and easier to invest.
What we offer
The Investor Front Door is open for business.
We provide support to selected project proponents by:
- giving you a dedicated engagement manager, as a single point of contact
- helping you understand the steps to meet your regulatory requirements
- supporting you to find suitable government financing and linking proponents to the right specialist investment vehicles
- identifying gaps and overlaps in regulation and project funding to support reforms.
This will improve Australia’s productivity by making it easier for projects to get off the ground, create jobs and grow Australia’s economy.
For proponents
When you undertake a project in Australia, you must understand and comply with regulations and approvals. This may include Australian, state and territory, and local government regulations and approvals.
These regulations are often designed to make sure projects run safely, responsibly and with community expectations in mind.
Dedicated support
The Australian Government selects nationally significant projects that will receive support through parts of the project lifecycle. A dedicated engagement manager guides proponents through the regulatory decision-making process, which includes:
- identifying the required regulatory approvals
- mapping out how the regulatory requirements fit together
- connecting proponents with the right government agencies and regulators.
Government financing support
Support may also include helping proponents identify whether suitable government financing is available from existing specialist investment vehicles, such as:
- Australian Renewable Energy Agency
- Clean Energy Finance Corporation
- Export Finance Australia
- Housing Australia
- National Reconstruction Fund Corporation
- Northern Australia Infrastructure Facility
- Regional Investment Corporation.
